LSC56 - It's about time!
 

*** Thank yous go out to all SCSers who participated in the teen boys challenge a couple of weeks ago and sent cards to Keiki Cards. Annette has started to receive the cards and she is very thankful. SCSers are a wonderful and giving group of people. Thank you! ***

This week is all about time. We live in a fast paced world and there just doesn't seem to be enough time anymore. This challenge will help us practice stamping quickly and choosing designs that can be done quickly. If you're like me, there's always a birthday that you have forgotten or a thank you you'd like to get out in the mail in the morning. This will also be a good exercise for VSN that starts in a few hours. After this, VSN time limits will be a piece of cake!

Time Limit: 20 minutes or less

Theme: birthday, thank you, or any every day type of card

Stamps: any (Ladies, you can use your BG stamps this week!) :D

cardstock and ink: any

embellishments: any


If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

Please remember to put LSC56 in the keyword box when you upload. Some people go right to the gallery and search with the keyword to see our cards.

Oh no! I'm a slow stamper!!!

We have our first stalker of the night :razz: You were first, Dawn. You can do it! Stamp, stamp, stamp!

I thought I'd check this before heading off to bed! Dang girl...it'll take me that long to coordinate paper supplies and ink! LOL! Jeanne�some pointers please!
Okay tomorrow I hope to get to this, not like it�ll take much time but I haven�t done Julia�s challenge yet either!

Woo hoo! I'm going to do mine tonight so I don't have to wait until after bowling in the morning :)

WOOOHOOO - was hoping you would post early - will get on this first thing in the morning!

Oh yikes, you don't want to know how long it took me to put together a card to make 5 of for a swap!

Here's mine. I already had this set out for my Christmas Card challenge cards I was working on tonight:

Jen, thanks for the challenge and especially for posting early. I can use my sleep time to think of a design...since that is usually what takes me half a day to come up with anyway. Or, better yet...I'll just get some well needed sleep and CASE your ideas! LOL...I'm off to bed so I can get some sleep before the grandsons wake up at Oh dark thirty in the morning. Hopefully, I will get a chance to do this over the weekend, but if not, I will definitely get to it some time on Monday. Hope all of you stalkers...errrr....ugh....challenge junkies get a good night rest now that Jen has posted early. Nite.

Awesome challenge - I'm a VERY slow stamper, so this will be good for me! Jeanne - you created that awesome card in 30 minutes? You must be FAST! That would take me almost an hour (without design time - just copying yours, for example! <g>). Maybe if I didn't clean up as I go I could be quicker... <G>

Man! I had to make a card for DD's student teacher's birthday. It's already sealed. Took me 15 or less to make. Guess i'll just have to stamp more tomorrow!

I'm not a stalker...just happened to be checking out the challenges!! :) This looks like a really fun one!

Got 3 done so far! LOVE this challenge!!

Just stalking...and holy moly, the challenge is up! Man, wish I didn't have an early morning tomorrow. I'll have to sleep in this. I so need to do this.

marlo

It's 3am and there's already a post to a finished card....my goodness, ladies :)

a perfect challenge for a busy day today Jen!

What a great challenge Jen. That's me to a "T". Always rushing to get a card done at the last minute! Off I go. Be right back! Oh by the way, it's all your fault we don't have a morning coffee stalkers thread. lol!http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=14062

Jen did you include interuptions for children in that 20 min deadline?

thanks Jen!!
already approved too!! :shock:

Good morning! No stalkers thread?! Can we chat here?:)

This is an awesome challenge Jen! I'll have to find some time this weekend to play!

Time --- great challenge for the Limited Supply Challenge. If there is anyting I have a limited supply of it is TIME! Thanks for this one. I look forward to participating later today or late tonight (see I'm limited on the time I can play between work and Little League). See y'all later.

Jen, after yesterday's challenge, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming up with this one! This card took me all of 10 minutes to put together. It's a thank you card for a special friend.

Julia, we don't have time to stalk this morning after the challenge you posted yesterday. Everyone's up early and stamping! (hehe, I actually got five done last night and uploaded! Phew, did that take a long time with everyone trying to upload last night.)

Here's mine! You gotta love background stamps to kick a quick card up a notch!! If only you could clean up in 20 minutes after making a quick card!! LOL! Here's mine:

Okay, now this really is the perfect challenge today. I have a sick daughter that needs to go to the doctors. Since it's not quite 8 am, I could actually make 3 cards before the office opens. Hehe. But probably this will have to wait till nap time. Why do Fridays get so busy??

Great challenge, Jen. I'm so glad it's already posted, because I really don't have TIME to stalk today. I was up till 1:00 working on a couple for Julia's challenge. Didn't realize it was so late & could barely keep my eyes open to upload (probably left half the stuff off on the card recipes), so I didn't come over to check here... just went straight to bed. I will definitely play on this one! Thanks for posting early.

your quick card
 

Jeanne, this is a great card! I love those backgrounds also...can you order online or did you order from someone you know? Also, I noticed you used petal point chalk...how do those work, how do you use them? Are they like pastels or different. Thanks in advance for the info...just whenever you have a few minutes, there is no rush.

morning ladies, I am up a bit late due to having my doc appointment today, but wow, love this challenge, I tend to have a hard time getting started making a card, and changing elements around and such, I hope to stamp this weekend while I recover, I love this, and since I have not made a card for my MIL yet this week, this will be a good challenge for it.

Did it!
 

Thanks for the quick challenge, Jen.

I'm off to call the doctor's office. And it's snowing here in MI. Let's hope the doctor's office and drug store can be this fast!

Here's mine, I combined it with one of my WT53. I agree with everyone, I am have a great time with the WT53 challenge but the quickie is sooo nice!
http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...46319&cat=4212

I did it Jen, I'm sooooo proud of myself. Eighteen minutes and I was done and at the scanner! Wahoo, I'm ready for VSN...yeah right!
Here's my card

Here's my first one...I hope to get another one in :)

To make sure I didn't cheat, I started 15 minutes before I had to leave to get my daughter from the bus stop...now that's incentive!

I'm in a retro phase...love this color combo...great challenge Jen!

Did Jeanne request this one - she is the QUEEN OF SPEED!!!!

I have a birthday (oooh, make it 3) cards to make for this weekend :shock:

THREE BIRTHDAY PARTIES! YIKES!

I am so lovin' the instant approvals!!! Here's my blue print birthday.

Hey, ladies! Fun challenge, and there should be lots of cards for this one. It would also be nice if you could post any helpful hints for making a quick card. I'm a sloooow stamper, and need all the help I can get! ;)

Here's a tip:

Don't start your timer until you have an idea in your head!

http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=45267

Here's mine. Is it cheating if I already had it in my gallery?? :) It was a super easy card.

Tip: Use some scraps.

Here's one that I had in my stash of cards (I really don't even have time today to be uploading!!....now to put it into high gear to make up for this time!! LOL!! This is still pending as of 7:23pt//www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=246372&cat=500&ppuser=68885

OOPS!! Let's try that link again!

Here's a 2nd one: sunny chick

TIP: Pre-cut some of your card stock into 1/2 sheets & 1/4 sheets. You can also pre-score & fold the 1/2 sheets, so they are ready to use as a card base. Another (I'm still working on this one) is to organize your scraps, so they are handy & easy to use.
